Thanks Hex.

Yeager . . . I do respect your opinion and share it to some respects.

As for the reason of the original post . . . I wanted info on how the new regulation will affect my (and everyone elses) internet and catalog cigar purchases. Your response seemed to avoind the question . . . thats all.

As an update I recently read that some credit card companies and processors will not be taking into account the difference between cigarettes and cigars. They will merely attach this new law/policy to all tobacco products. It seems that they are taking this even farther in that they arerefusing ALL sales tendered by a retailer who engages in internet or catalog sales regardless of whether that particular refused sale was generated by either of those means.

STUPID!

We need less government not more.
